Now that I think of it, who sais that only the DM should be allowed to play intelligently?
Friedrich will ask Bolo do a little spying on Umad. He wants to know how he is training this week.
Any spell that Mary can cast to assist him, she will
In addition, Friedrich will train in the utmost secrecy while learning the sand move.

1 Can you do split fire on a fighting withdrawl. For example can Umad scoot back 70’ feet, stop and throw a knife You can't withdraw and split fire. But if you are not within 10' of him then he can do a half move and throw 2 daggers. He can use this tactic indefinitely to keep Friedrich out of melee range but in throwing range. 3. If we start the round next to each other, does my specialized attack go before his specialized attack? Does it go before a fighting withdrawal? Two specialized melee fighters use standard initiative to determine who attacks first. If he is throwing instead of using a melee attack then you would go at the start and end of the round and he would go 4 times in the middle. If he is withdrawing then you will go first but will only get a single attack because he will break contact. 5. Can Friedrich train to use the sand trick? This only works if you can get him in melee combat. His whole strategy is to keep you at a distance. Any spell that Mary can cast to assist him, she will Does this mean she will help with intelligence gathering or will cheat when Friedrich fights. Again I would warn you against using any spells, potions or charms. Magic is not allowed in the arena and if you are caught you will be severely punished. Also everyone who bet on you will automatically lose. Better might be to ask around the pit fighters for tips on how to beat him. There are people who have been around much longer than you and have seen him fight many more times. Ask when was the last time he was beaten? Who did this? What weapons did they use? What strategy and tactics worked? What didn't work? Is that person available to talk to? If you need to, before the fight, we can have some mock fights between Friedrich and Paavo or Trommer (playing the role of Umar). Basically just a walk through. No actual weapons. Just statements of intent and movement on the board.

If he wears heavy armor we will both move at the same speed Mary will use her magic for intelligence gathering.

@ Colby: Dully noted.
I don’t think liquidating the party funds to buy whatever cool spells you can find is a good idea.
Speaking of which, I’m assuming that you are giving everybody their shares of party items, correct?
Friedrich and Mary will take their shares.
I will probably need a crash course in a ranged weapon. I am considering the long bow. Perhaps Nordel would lend Friedrich his strength bow. Is there a specific rule stating that there is a minimum height to use one?

You could reverse the tactics by using a short bow. You could split fire and stay out of his knife throwing range.

Paavo agrees completely with Colby with regards to gambling. He would go further and say that the Fighting Pits are an ugly form of entertainment. Killing people for the entertainment and profit of others borders on evil in his mind. He realizes it is part of this society but it is not something he approves of. He would prefer if Friedrich gave up this endeavor. His efforts are better used for destroying evil. Paavo and Dan will heal Friedrich after this next fight but not after any more fights. The miracles granted to them by their gods should not be used to prop up this institution. Now Paavo is lecturing Friedrich on what is means to be good? Really???? Paladin or not, Friedrich is every bit is “good” as any character in the party, including the paladin. If your so concerned about you Palidin code why do you adventure with chaotic neutral character? Those “gifts” from Ukko should have been stripped 25 sessions ago if we were playing by the book and you know it. I guess helping Friedrich is where you decide to make a stand, huh? You sure you want to go down this road?

The role playing is heating up. "Playing by the book" can be subjective. While Paavo has the ability to determine the alignment of various party members, Friedrich does not have the ability to know such details. A chaotic neutral character is not "evil". Just very self centered and unpredicatable. A paladin can associate with such a person but if an evil act is done in his presence, he may take what actions he deems necessary. So far such things have been done so as he is unaware so the individual has not incurred the paladin's attention. That person is well aware of doing such things around Paavo so has been wise not to.
Paladins can have a wide variety of idiosyncracies. Paavo has decided that the gifts of his god are not for supports a person's quest for individual glory in a gladitorial ring. That is perfectly justified. Friedrich view of being good allows him to kill others in the arena at the whim of the crowd for personal fame and riches. This desire put him at odds with Paavo personal code where there was not an issue before.

I didn't say Friedrich was evil. I said the Fighting Pits border on evil. Friedrich has shown his compassion by not actually slaying his opponents. But that doesn't mean others aren't killed at the whim of the pit masters and crowd. Friedrich can fight in the arena if he wants. It is a completely voluntary action. Paavo won't explicitly try to stop him. But Paavo and Dan won't heal him for wounds from the arena.
This does not affect healing provided while adventuring. Anyone in the party who takes damage while fighting evil will be offered healing from Paavo and Dan.

Is there a specific rule stating that there is a minimum height to use one? BTW, characters under 5' in height cannot use long bows. See PHB, p. 19, footnote *** for table II.

Besides a visit to the brothel, what other non-magical short term bonuses could Friedrich benefit from? Bolo has some "love potions" that he obtained from a gypsy at the tournament in Aldagmor. He understands that they are not in fact magical potions but merely function as an aphrodisiac. He can't vouch for this, as he hasn't yet had an opportunity to try them out. But he'd be happy to give Friedrich one. Perhaps it would make the benefit of a night in the Pleasure Houses even more, um, effective. Bolo discreetly asks Gabul to be a little more forthcoming in his replies. What is that nature of the magic of this magical flower? The contract doesn't say what you do with the money. It doesn't, but the deal Bolo offered is that if Friedrich wins his fight, and Bolo wins his bet, and Friedrich signs the document, then Bolo's winnings of 3000gp go directly to Fenhold's account at the Merchant Houses. It's all one transaction. Friedrich never actually gets control of the cash. Of course, once all is said and done, if Friedrich then wants to take out a new mortgage on Fenhold, for 3000gp or whatever sum the Merchant Houses are willing to give him, then Bolo has no say in that. In fact, he doesn't really care one way or the other. Not his business, not his call. Better might be to ask around the pit fighters for tips on how to beat him. ... If you need to, before the fight, we can have some mock fights ... Bolo thinks these seem like good suggestions. Friedrich will ask Bolo do a little spying on Umad. He wants to know how he is training this week. Bolo thinks a fighter would be a more effective scout than he would. Besides, Bolo is either trying to lay low at the inn, or occupied with other business, depending on which day we're talking about. Bolo suggests that the Brotherhood of the Axe may be able to hook Friedrich up with a professional scout. It seems to him like that might be a known profession in this town.

Something along the lines of ‘1 session with non-evil neutrals and only if it is furthering the cause of good’. I really don’t care, I’m just in the mood to argue. I just wanted to point this out. I’m not wrong. You want to rewrite the rules fine, but we’re not playing by them in this regard.

About throwing two handed, I suspect Umad can get another dagger attack or two in there by throwing with his off hand. Attack rates only assume a single hand.
I'd bring a couple of lassos. That would solve the range issue pretty quick. The lassos only need to range 30' unless you are playing inches to yards outdoors.

100 dinar for each Feather Fall, Hold Portal, Invisibility, Mirror Image, Sleep and Strength. In spell form, Invisibility and Strength can be applied to someone else, not just the caster. Is that also true in charm form? Could Bolo use an Invisibility or Strength charm to make someone else invisible or strong? How does that work? Would he need to be touching the target person, as in the spell form?

That would solve the range issue pretty quick. The lassos only need to range 30' unless you are playing inches to yards outdoors. See that’s what I want to hear. Oz, my man, thank you!!! That should work. Not somebody giving me financial advice as to why everything I’m doing is “a really bad idea” on one hand, while chronically in debt and subsequently liquidating the party’s coffers for their own pet projects on the other. Or the Paladin who’s code only applies selectively, but WHEN it does, he’s sure to lecture you about it. I don’t expect Josh to address to the paladin-Chaotic Nuetral issue, just like last time…and I won’t push it either. I just enjoy breaking ‘stones’ I’m about to go on a complete tangent here so stop reading if you don’t care: This is like when Sunny Corleone said to Tom Hagen, practically at his wits end “Tom, no more advice on how to patch things up here. I need you to help me win” referring to the upcoming war with the five families. Replace “patch things up” with ethics and financial lectures and Friedrich and Sunny are dealing with the same frustrations. Fortunately, some quiet and soft spoken person, who, up until this point has had virtually no involvement with the campaign(crime family) spoke up for the first time and suggested that “if Clemensa could find a way to have a gun planted there….then I’ll kill em both” Replace ‘kell ‘em both’ with the lasso idea and that’s what Dana just did here. Dana, I don’t know whether to call you Oz or Michael Corleone, but thanks for “helping me win”. And thanks to everybody who gave me suggestions of “how to win”. You know I’m just having fun here. I’m actually in rare form right now!!! :)

Colby will write his 4 new spells in one of his new books. You have two ceramic and one leather. Pick which type of book or I will stick them in the ceramic ostracon. I think this is a good call. I'd like to put it all into spell ink purchases... If I don't hear anything to the contrary I will assume the items (Lemarchand box, displacer beast pelts and aerial mana ray stingers) are sold and 1650 dinars are added to the party fund. Youssef would like to learn more about non-elemental magics in addition to continuing his education in the Elements. He will share Lasting Breath with Colby and Mary. We can share spells in session, it will be quick. Also Youssef returns Feldspar's wand back to Dan... He explains that as an Air Elemancer, Earth-based magics are diametrically opposite for him. Nice catch. a douoble specialized knife thrower of at least 7th level At least considering the undercard opponents Friedrich fought. to get 4 throws per round at +1 to hit and +2 damage. I can't recall if the strength damage bonus can be added. If Friedrich is +3/+3 with thrown axes, a knife specialist would be +3/+3 with thrown knives. With applicable strength bonus to damage and dexterity bonus to hit. His oppenent is a seasoned and crafty fighter to survive this long only relying on knives. Without a doubt. 1 Can you do split fire on a fighting withdrawl. For example can Umad scoot back 70’ feet, stop and throw a knife No. Splitting fire is a regular move, each shot withheld for movement being a fraction of the total movement rate. A 4/1 with 12" move could split fire, move 30' and throw three times. Or split fire, move 90' and throw once. 2. I would like to know every piece of equipment that Umad was wearing. I want to know all the mechanichal effects I will be facing. Umad surely will be fighting an intelligent fight against Friedrich. I specificially scouted him. He carries a lot of knives, some on bandoliers, some hidden on his person. As far as armor, he wears the padded armor common to Barb-el-Shay. Friedrich can't scrutinize him much beyond that. 3. If we start the round next to each other, does my specialized attack go before his specialized attack? This would be based off initiative, then dexterity reaction adjustment- something which is lost when encumbered or in armor heavier than leather. Does it go before a fighting withdrawal? A specialized melee attack by a melee fighter in melee goes before all other actions. 5. Can Friedrich train to use the sand trick? He can try, but he thinks a seasoned veteran of the Fighting Pits is less likely to fall for such a rookie move. 6. Would you consider a middle ground regarding WS for off-hand? Friedrich would be single specialized. +1, +2 As regards the bonus to hit and damage, I thought everyone was agreed. As far as attacks, the off-hand grants only 1 additional attack per round, period. Friedrich will ask Bolo do a little spying on Umad. He wants to know how he is training this week. Umad doesn't appear to be training especially hard. He signs autographs outside the Fighting Pits and juggles knives for the crowd who seem to really appreciate it. Any spell that Mary can cast to assist him, she will Ok. In addition, Friedrich will train in the utmost secrecy while learning the sand move. Friedrich picks up a handful of sand in his off-hand and throws it... seems like a cheap move. Speaking of which, I’m assuming that you are giving everybody their shares of party items, correct? This seems incorrect based on the posts so far. The items already sold netted 4900GP value. Colby has already spent 2525GP. Friedrich and Mary will take their shares. How many dinars are they taking as their shares? Is there a specific rule stating that there is a minimum height to use one? BTW, characters under 5' in height cannot use long bows. See PHB, p. 19, footnote *** for table II. Paladin or not, Friedrich is every bit is “good” as any character in the party, including the paladin. Friedrich straight up murdered a young (age 7-12) urchin pickpocket with a throwing axe on the outskirts of Threshold. Friedrich was ready to kill Nordel, his fellow partymember, in town during a dispute over a magic item the party has been carrying, unused, since October of 2011... But for the most part I'll agree he's Good-aligned. No…he can’t. Not by the book at least. I don’t have the PHB with me, but EGG was actually completely uncharacteristically clear on this. Something along the lines of ‘1 session with non-evil neutrals and only if it is furthering the cause of good’. You're incorrect or at least I believe there is room for interpretation. I'm happy to clarify this subject with some fancy rules lawyering. a. "Paladins can join" -- Paavo did not join anything, he formed the original party with characters and creatures of good alignment. Neutrals joined afterward.b. There are no guidelines given for the punishment of this minor breach of Paladin protocol, even if he did knowingly adventure with non-good neutrals (which he cannot really know without a "Know Alignment" spell). The only thing that can strip Paavo of his paladinhood, by the book, is written in the following passage on page 22 of the PHB. Period. It could possibly be argued that if Paavo breaks the Paladin strictures with regard to retaining wealth, tithing, magic items, non-good associations, etc. then he should not gain experience (similar to a magic-user using a sword or wearing armor) but as far as his Paladinhood, that is not in question unless he "knowingly and willingly perform an evil act."
I'd bring a couple of lassos. That would solve the range issue pretty quick. The lassos only need to range 30' unless you are playing inches to yards outdoors. lol that will certainly make things interesting... the description of the lasso references another weapon and that other weapon forces me to reference the Kuo-Toa entry in the Fiend Folio... freakin' uncodified 1E D&D.
Bolo discreetly asks Gabul to be a little more forthcoming in his replies. What is that nature of the magic of this magical flower? For 5 dinars he can take Bolo to Djanno's Den of Forbidden Delights and they can eat lotus blossoms together, drool and stare off into space. Gabul swears by it.
In spell form, Invisibility and Strength can be applied to someone else, not just the caster. Is that also true in charm form? Could Bolo use an Invisibility or Strength charm to make someone else invisible or strong? How does that work? Would he need to be touching the target person, as in the spell form? The charm only affects the person using it.

So are does Friedrich get single spec for the off hand or not?
You say that there is no way Umad would fall for the sand trick….why is that? Friedrich fell for it….2 rounds after the guy had just tried it on me AND I specifically told you that I was watching out for it. Friedrich has an 18 wisdom and 14 intelligence. Does this guy have 20 +’s in both or this this a case of “NPC omnipotence” or perhaps it is some mechanic that I am not aware of?
Also, I’m going to wait until day 47 to do this so I can have an 18.00 strength. This is life and death here and I am putting all of my money on the line. This may well turn into a test of strength if we are both tied together or anything else unforeseeable happens.
So I will train in lasso & “dirt throwing” for the next 10 or so days. I should have the proficiencies.
I will train using the lasso in complete secrecy. Meanwhile Bolo, Mary and I will figure out a way to poison this guy the night before the fight. If he won’t reschedule, I’m sure somebody will be ready on day 47.
NO fighting until then.
When did Friedrich kill a pick pocket? Maybe his did and I just don’t remember.
About the Nordel thing; he was heated but in the end he did nothing. Actions are what count not a thought that passes through a person’s head in a moment of anger. So I disagree with this point.

He wouldn't fall for the sand trick because he won't stay in melee contact long enough to do it. Friedrich was standing and wailing on the guy with his axe. Umad will withdraw on the next round after Friedrich gets his attacks in.

So are does Friedrich get single spec for the off hand or not? He gets the +3 to hit and +3 to damage but not specialized attacks. You say that there is no way Umad would fall for the sand trick….why is that? I said he was less likely. As in he'll get a bonus to his savings throw because he's a veteran Pit Fighter who does this for a living and will possibly anticipate such a trick. Does this guy have 20 +’s in both or this this a case of “NPC omnipotence” or perhaps it is some mechanic that I am not aware of? No, it's not a mechanic whatsoever. It was the one-off special move of the opponent Friedrich was fighting, designed specifically for gladiatorial combat. If Friedrich wants to try to adopt it, that's fine and I'll let him. Also, I’m going to wait until day 47 to do this so I can have an 18.00 strength. So Friedrich is forfeiting his fight on Day 39??? So I will train in lasso & “dirt throwing” for the next 10 or so days. I should have the proficiencies. Anyone can throw dirt. It's not a weapon proficiency. Lasso will cost Friedrich 1d6+1x100GP and take 2d6 days to learn. I will train using the lasso in complete secrecy. Someone has to train Friedrich in this weapon proficiency. Meanwhile Bolo, Mary and I will figure out a way to poison this guy the night before the fight. If he won’t reschedule, I’m sure somebody will be ready on day 47. lol what? Please clarify this statement. When did Friedrich kill a pick pocket? Maybe his did and I just don’t remember. March 2011. In Threshold, before hiring Falconus and his men to travel to the Black Peaks. The party was swarmed with urchins in the streets of Threshold after they made the mistake of giving away some spare coins. One of the urchins successfully pickpocketed Friedrich. He tried to run but Friedrich put a +2 (to hit) throwing axe in his back. Paavo flipped his lid and took control of the party before the situation could get more out of control. About the Nordel thing; he was heated but in the end he did nothing. Alignment is thoughts, feelings, attitudes, motivations.

Well hell, if I am as bad as every thought that’s ever crossed my mind I know , I know for certain I’m going to hell!!
And I’m not forfeiting anything. I’m postponing it. This Umad guy means nothing to me. I’ll fight anybody. I don’t care. If he wants to fight me, he will wait another 7 days. If not, Im sure the fights will go on.
Besides I never specifically agreed to anything.

Umad doesn't appear to be training especially hard. He signs autographs outside the Fighting Pits and juggles knives for the crowd who seem to really appreciate it. To the extent that Umad is training, does he do it at the Fighting Pits, or in some other location? When he is outside the Fighting Pits, signing and juggling, does he have bodyguards or teammates or handlers with him, or just the crowd of fans? What is the racial and gender mix of the crowd? Is it known whether Umad habitually frequents a Pleasure House the night before his fights? If so, which?

If not, Im sure the fights will go on. Besides I never specifically agreed to anything. Friedrich wanted to get out of the undercard circuit. The Order of the Eternal Axe pulled some strings with the Pitmaster to get their new prize rookie, with only 4 wins to his credit, a match in the uppercard fights. He drew Umad by random selection. Either Friedrich shows up on Day 39 and fights or he can forfeit the match and allow another competitor to take his spot. The fight is only a few days away. He needs to make a decision as they're already casting the commemorative Fighting Pit tokens for his upcoming fight...

Ok fair enough. Assuming I cam be traines in lasso I will go in to areena and kill this guy. Like I said, I have people scouting Umad, while Froedrich is training behind closed doors with just one person. NOBODY elsd needs.to know my fight plan.
There could be a mole in the ORder or the Eternal Axe.
I'm confident this guy will not win. I will.have no choice but to pospone it unless I can learn lasso, however.
Did Colby sell everything yet. Friedrich and Mary need their portion.!

When he is outside the Fighting Pits, signing and juggling, does he have bodyguards or teammates or handlers with him, or just the crowd of fans? What is the racial and gender mix of the crowd? He rolls deep with 3 or 4 members of the Knife Clan. The crowd is mostly young adult (human*) males age 18-35, the prime Fighting Pit demographic. Few women. Definitely no desert halflings. More beastmen than Bolo is comfortable with. Elves, dwarves, gnomes are not populous in Barb-el-Shay. *the humans of Barb-el-Shay represent a more diverse grouping than is seen in The Forest Kingdoms. Mostly they are the peoples of the Desert Kingdoms, but then there's also the dusky purple humans (of the Southern Isles), like Dwelb Abuyalm; and the more fine-featured, feathered-cape wearing folk (of Vimana) that Paavo noticed in the Inn of Seven Silks. Probably more subtle varieties of human that are indistinguishable to Bolo.

Once the other stuff sells, that'll make 6050 in items I've sold. That give everyone a 605 300 GP share, right? 5%? Colby will take his part and purchase a DeepPockets robe. The standard one with the biggest pockets.

Does Umad look extremely strong? The last guy I found was 18.00 (or he had a magic weapon).
Is he some hulking guy or is he slender and quick? Between my scouting, Bolo’s scouting and asking people in the order of the Axe, how strong do they think this guy is?
I also want to know how he fights. Has anybody seen him fight somebody who moves at a 6 in the past? Has anybody seen him get lassoed before? What his given him troubles? What tricks does this guy use? I want to know everything.
Until the day of the fight, Friedrich will eat, sleep and breathe Umad. He is now blindly obsessed with defeating this guy.

Like I said, I have people scouting Umad, while Froedrich is training behind closed doors with just one person. NOBODY elsd needs.to know my fight plan. 1d6+1=2, 2d6=6It will cost Friedrich 200 dinars (deducting from character sheet) and take 6 days to learn lasso from a trainer at the Fighting Pits. He can be finished on Day 39 and be proficient for the fight if he wants. You have until the start of the session on Sunday to determine if Friedrich is fighting in this matchup. If Friedrich wishes to "train in secret" he must spend an additional 200 dinars as the lasso trainer isn't going to go into seclusion with him for 6 days without some kind of compensation. Let me know if Friedrich is paying extra for this. Did Colby sell everything yet. Friedrich and Mary need their portion.! I don't believe he's sold 'everything" yet. I'm not getting involved in this aspect. If someone makes a declarative statement that they are taking/using money from party funds then I will mark the character sheets accordingly. I do not determine party shares. Tell me how many dinars Friedrich and Mary are claiming and it will be done. Otherwise it will not.

There are a couple jewelers in the Foreign District. They'll purchase gems at a % of their value, between 80-85%. They'll sell gems at mark-up of 110-130%, depending on rarity. One will not work uncut stones whatsoever, threatening guild sanctions. The other will work uncut gems, but only for 33% of the final value. I don't recall anyone following up on this. Can we ask the jeweler who refuses to buy the uncut diamonds what the guild approved process he advises is? If he's a part of the jewel selling guild, is there a gem cutting guild we should contact instead?

No magic in the arena. Period. ... The punishment for cheating is disqualification/death. If there is a disqualification, what happens to bets that have already been placed? Is the disqualified contestant considered to have lost by forfeit? Or is the fight merely canceled, with all bets returned?
